August Status Report

Hi everyone! We'd like to offer a heads-up regarding activity for this month, as it will be slightly different from usual due to the Summer holiday season.

For most of August, our Project Lead, Lead Coder, and some of the other developers will be on their annual holiday trips, all at the same time. This will affect our usual development schedule and public activity (such as on Discord and Patreon).

To help make up for this, we'll outline some of our upcoming plans and have scheduled Patreon content in advance. So, you'll still have content to enjoy throughout the month!

What to expect:

• Development progress may be a bit slower during the month, but developers who aren't on holiday are still tinkering away on cool stuff! You'd probably only notice this during the following month's Recapped post.

• "Restitched: Recapped! | July 2025" may be delayed from its usual early-in-the-month timeframe, but we still hope to release it.

• We have a couple of new promotional/gameplay video ideas, which we'll put into production when everyone is back in action.

• We'll have more news on the digital release of The Grandiose Tales of Cpt. Stuffy comic soon.

• We hope to reveal the special Limited Edition Stuffy Plushies later this year, along with how you can snag one!

• Patreon posts have been scheduled this month, including things like:

  • Soundtrack Preview (a wardrobe track!)

  • From The Vault

  • Asset Preview

  • Cpt. Stuffy comic page (introduction of a game character!)

Is there something you'd like to see, such as a specific From The Vault idea? Let us know!

Development Progress Report:

We're pleased to report that development is going well, and we're still excitedly crafting the game one task at a time!

As mentioned previously, this year has been all about prioritizing the Wardrobe experience, as we wanted to finalize a substantial part of the game and get it into your hands for feedback and fun.

Our current goal is to polish The Wardrobe as we prepare it for a standalone testing build. Our progress on this is steady, with many of our coders, artists, and team leads helping each week to push it forward. We expect this to be done fairly soon!

Developers who aren't assigned to Wardrobe tasks are still working on gameplay features. This includes tweaks to Stuffy movement, script cleanup, general polish, new art assets, new features and creation tools, object settings, etc...

All this to say: we're nearly wrapped with the Wardrobe for public testing, but we've also been continuing progress across other parts of the game.

Overall, we're happy with where the game is and where it's headed! We're very thankful for your patience and support, and we'll continue to do our best to update you each step of the way. Game development can be a long, tough journey... but we appreciate that you let us be so transparent about our process!

We'll have more fun stuff to share from the game soon. In the meantime, we hope you're enjoying your Summer so far!

Much love,

Team Trixel
